"I don't like it, but I don't hate it either." Xiao Yanzhi nodded slightly.
Jiang Li didn't understand for a moment.
"Since you don't hate it, then take it."
As he said this, Xiao Yanzhi's face was calm. He slowly picked up the box in his hand, indicating for Jiang Li to take it.
Once again, he was insisting that she accept it, regardless of whether she wanted it or not.
Jiang Li knew what he meant, and didn't want to spoil his mood.
The smile on her face seemed to brighten up. The warm yellow light in the room outlined her figure well. "Then I'll thank President Xiao first."
There was a smile in her eyes, but it didn't reach the bottom of them. It was only on the surface.
But Xiao Yanzhi didn't notice.
He thought that she was in a good mood because she had received the cake that he had specially bought for her. Even his tone of voice was a few degrees softer than usual.
In Xiao Yanzhi's eyes, this was equivalent to making up.
The two of them stood at the door, looking at each other for a few seconds. Neither of them spoke first to continue the conversation.
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?" He hooked the corner of his lips, clearly not planning to leave after just giving her the cake.
"I don't think so. It's already very late." Jiang Li's voice was soft and gentle. The words of rejection that she said were extremely charming. "I have to get up early tomorrow to film. I have to rest well."
She spoke in a soft voice, making it hard for people to reject her.
Xiao Yanzhi smiled slightly and nodded. "It's okay to chat with you too."
Chat?
Jiang Li thought that this man was really interesting.
He came to give her a cake at night, and said that he wanted to celebrate her winning an award. In fact, he probably had dirty thoughts running through his head.
At this point, he still wanted to say something like "chat with you", which was really redundant.
He was trying to deceive a three-year-old.
Even though she saw through his thoughts, Jiang Li didn't expose him. She just yawned. "I didn't clean up. If President Xiao doesn't mind the mess, then come in and sit for a while."
She gave way first and walked into the kitchen. "I'll go pour President Xiao a glass of hot water. Sit wherever you like."
Only then did Xiao Yanzhi slowly walk into the room. He noticed the two white roses in the vase on the table.
It was very romantic.
Looking at the small but warmly decorated house, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Jiang Li had always been like this.
She seemed to have a cold and aloof personality, but in these details of life, she was like a little girl who loved life.
It was a pity that it was too small.
Xiao Yanzhi was nearly 1.9 meters tall. Standing in this apartment, he felt a little oppressed.
That day, he slept in Jiang Li's bedroom. The bed was small and crowded. He didn't sleep well at all.
In this case, Ruiyuan was more suitable for her.
...
When Jiang Li walked out of the kitchen with two glasses of hot water, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly looked up and said casually, "Are you used to living here?"
Jiang Li could tell that he was disliking her house for being too small.
Jiang Li was stunned for two seconds, then smiled gracefully. "It's okay. It's more convenient to clean."
Although it was small, she lived comfortably.
"Go back to Ruiyuan." He naturally tidied up his cuffs with his left hand. He took the water cup from her hand, hooked the corner of his lips, and his voice was extremely steady. "It's more suitable for you there."
Jiang Li froze for a moment.
Go back to Ruiyuan?
She almost blurted out and asked him if his brain had been kicked by a donkey.
Qin Yaoyao was living in Ruiyuan now. Did he plan to let the three of them live under the same roof?
One wasn't enough, and he wanted to play with two at once?
Once again, the comments from netizens flashed through her mind.
"The rich really know how to play."
They played too much.
She didn't expect him to play so much. She was afraid that he would get a cross-infection.
Jiang Li opened her lips. The words of abuse and sarcasm were on the tip of her tongue, but she still held back. She forced out a smile, and her tone was particularly insincere. "President Xiao, I don't have the idea of living with others."
"Living with who?" Xiao Yanzhi hooked the corner of his lips and smiled. "The house is empty. No one will disturb you."
Only occasionally would he go there.
Empty?
Jiang Li's chaotic thoughts flew back. She looked at him in disbelief. She couldn't control her emotions for a moment and murmured, "Isn't Qin Yaoyao..."
"I didn't let her live there. Not even for a day."
Xiao Yanzhi was in a good mood, and his patience became particularly abundant. "That's your place. I won't let others occupy it."
What he said was romantic and nice, like a casual love letter.
She didn't know who had a cold face and said that he would let Qin Yaoyao move into Ruiyuan.
Jiang Li endured the mood of wanting to be sarcastic. Her tone inadvertently revealed a bit of resentment. "That house was lent to me by President Xiao. How could it be my place?"
Ruiyuan didn't belong to her, and she didn't belong there either.
It was no different from a cage made of gold.
After she said this, Xiao Yanzhi squinted his eyes, making it hard to guess his emotions.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yanzhi let out a low laugh.
He was a little helpless and a little spoiling.
He was obviously in a good mood. He got up and hugged her shoulders. He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. "I know. I'll handle it well."
Jiang Li felt the familiar aura of the man. She lowered her eyes and tensed her body. She didn't have time to ask him what he was going to handle.
The gentlemanly appearance that the man had pretended to have was easily removed. His fingers gently pressed against her lips. He lowered his head and gently kissed her. "You won an award today. What reward do you want, Lili?"
Jiang Li:...
The best reward was for him to get out of her house now.
Immediately.
Xiao Yanzhi didn't know how to read minds. Naturally, he didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking now. His big hand gently stroked the back of her head and gently pressed her into his arms.
She was the rose that he had irrigated.
He had raised her since she was a flower bud. Now, she had grown branches and was the most gorgeous and delicate one.
Just as his lips were about to deepen, Jiang Li tightened her hand. She suddenly pressed her slender and fair index finger against his chin.
"President Xiao, I'm not convenient today." She softened her voice and her eyes were shy. "I'm on my period."
A single sentence made Xiao Yanzhi's hand that was about to reach into her pajamas stop.
He quickly pulled it out.
"Why is it today?" Xiao Yanzhi was a little disappointed. He half-closed his eyes. "Isn't it the end of the month? Why is it so early?"
Jiang Li lied without hesitation. She didn't even blink her eyes. "It's too cold. It came early."
The two bodies that were like dry wood and fire just now gradually calmed down after a few conversations.
The ink color that was surging in the man's eyes just now was a little lighter now. In the end, he still leaned down and kissed her earlobe with a bit of pity, causing her to tremble all over.
"Go to bed early. I'll come back in a few days. Be good."
